Thousands of indigenous people of the region use Banisteriopsis Caapi Vine in sacred religious and healing ceremonies, as part of their traditional religions.

It is the main ingredient in Ayahuasca, a sacred medicine used for millennia in order to enter the sacred supernatural world for healing, divination, and worship. To prepare Ayahuasca, sections of Banisteriopsis Caapi vine were boiled with leaves from a number of potential admixture plants such as Psychotria viridis (Chacruna) or Diplopterys cabrerana (Chagropanga, Chaliponga) to make the Ayahuasca.

Our Live Banisteriopsis caapi plants are 6 to 10 inches, established, rooted vine sections with new leaf growth. These are rooted sections from our 10-year-old caapi plants grown in Hawaii.
